Report: Kings offer four-year, $106 million max to Otto Porter

According to Chris Haynes of ESPN, the Sacramento Kings have offered Wizards’ restricted free agent Otto Porter a four-year, $106 million max contract. However, it is unclear if the deal was actually signed by Porter. The Wizards know that a decision on if they are willing to match a max offer for their defensive wing is coming.

Most have reported that the team would match any offer sheet Porter was given, but we have seen situations in the past where teams have said they would match an offer, but ultimately didn’t. Chandler Parsons had this happen to him as a restricted free agent for the Rockets and signed with the Mavericks.

The Kings are in the midst of a rebuild. Signing a player like Porter continues to show that the team is trying to build their new young roster with players that can help change a culture in Sacramento that has been stuck in a playoff drought for over a decade.

The decision of where Porter plays next season still rests in the Wizards’ hands, but this move could set-off a domino effect for the rest of the Kings’ offseason.
